City Guide
Horki, Mogilev, Belarus
Overview
Horki is a small, welcoming city in the Mogilev region of Belarus, known for its agricultural roots and tranquil atmosphere. Life revolves around the local university, lively markets, and green parks, offering a glimpse of everyday Belarusian culture away from the tourist trail.

Local Tips
Most people speak Russian or Belarusian, so a translation app is useful. Buses and taxis are the primary transport; cash is preferred, especially in smaller shops.
Cultural Etiquette
Tipping is not expected but appreciated (5-10% in cafes). Dress modestly for public venues and churches. Greetings are polite, handshakes are common.
Safety Warnings
Horki is generally safe, though petty theft can occur in crowded markets. At night, stick to well-lit streets in the city center, and avoid wandering alone in peripheral, poorly lit areas.
Hidden Gems
Explore the university's botanical garden, the lesser-known Museum of Local Lore, and take scenic walks along the riverbanks just outside town.
